The cemetery is located on private property. On Jan. 18, 1800, Christian Stockers sold to the trustees of the Presbyterian and German Lutheran societies, both of which then existed in Fallowfield township, one acres of land, for which he received a consideration of seven shillings and sixpence. This acre was from the tract of land called "Carlisle," for which an application was made May 23, 1769, by Stockers through William Wilson. After becoming possessed of the land Wilson conveyed it to Stockers, who obtained a patent for it June 2, 1794. Upon this land, purchased of Christian Stockers, the Presbyterian and Lutheran societies erected church buildings. At the present time the site of the Presbyterian Church is only marked by the ruins of the building and the old graves in the churchyard. The Lutheran organization was removed to Ginger Hill. Their old church was purchased by Frederick K. Cooper, and it was used as a dwelling-house. Historical records for Washington County also refer to this church as a German Lutheran church. It was also known as Weygandt (Wyant’s) or Pigeon Creek Church. The plaque reads: On this site the first Lutheran Conference west of the Allegheny Mountains convened October 18, 1812. This was the first of a series of annual conferences that led to the organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio and other states at Somerset, Ohio, September 14, 1818. Unveiled 31 August 1924 Erected by the Historical Society of the Evangelical Lutheran joint Synod of Ohio and other states. The cemetery was described as overgrown with vines, briar bushes, and poison ivy but with a thick carpet of myrtle. The graves that have tombstones are scattered. The data is from 1982 when Marshall and Irene Lignian recorded tombstones standing at that time. This data can be found in the genealogy section of the Citizen’s Library in Washington PA library.
